Great Golly Hoppers
~*Grandma Poet*~

One little girl in such obvious glee
thought a ‘Hopper’ she’d like to see
So different from big sister, Delaney,
is our little bug-lover, Landry Leigh~

Curious and curiouser she became
at the ‘Hoppers’ on parade
Until one jumped too close to her little hand
Shrieking she screamed, “eeeee!”
Then, “Poet, ‘Hopper’ scare me!”

~Poet~ to the rescue quickly
calming the nerves of this girlie grand
Yet the next time she sees ‘Hopper’
she’ll want to hold him in her hand~

~*~

~This grandie girlie LOVES bugs !~
Oh my, rhymes with *Hugs*
So ~Poet~ will just have to see that she
gets enough of both~

~*No matter what I search for ...
let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

Well just look at the adorable Miss Landry Leigh..
and those Hoppers!
Too cute..but, I think I would scream too if one jumped on me.
Give her a hug from me as well Marge.

How adorable...I too had an aversion to "Hoppers" as a young girl! Lovely write!

Yes, I am sure she will do just that! That's a great report dear Marge!

They are quite big!

Love and hugs.

Aww, sweet innocence! Very nicely worded to explain her inquisitive expressions.

Landry's reactions reminded me of my oldest daughter at age 2. Going down the outside steps to our English basemnt, she picked up a monarch butterfly.
With an ear to ear smile, she said, "I got a butterfly...EEEEEE," trembling as she tossed it. She cried, "There's a bug under it!" She'd thought they were just wings.

Dear Marge: What a cutie and she is different than most her age, to be liking "hoppers" I can remember being terrified of them, as a small child!

Dear Marge

I use to pick up 'hoppers' when I was a child. I'd put them in a jar with grass etc and put a lid on (with holes in it). I'd observe them for the day and then when dusk came, I'd set them free. Back then we never had 'bug catchers'. Of course, I would not pick them up now!

A lovely photo and verse of Landry!

Love Verbena xo

Friends ... thank you all for enjoying this little pixie-pie~
She is simply fascinated by 'bugs' ...
then shrieks and pats the little chest,
saying, "Scare me, scare me !"

She's totally precious~

Ah..this is fun!
My girl has always loved bugs...and snakes! *ACK* I tried so hard when she was little to be brave, so she would not be "askeered" of such things...and she still loves them at 7 yrs old

loved the poem..loved the pics too!

hugs, g

DG~
LOL at your little Joie~

Landry firmly states, "Me no like snakes !!"
But give her a bug in her view ... and she's well on her way to 'touch' !

Merry Christmas sweetie ... to you and that precious family~
